Des Moines's short-term rental market moves fast

Iowa's capital

Des Moines draws business travelers, government visitors, sports fans and event crowds.

Big event weeks

The Iowa State Fair in August and the Drake Relays in April fill rentals.

Summer strength

May through August is the strongest stretch, with July the best month.

Few city rental rules

Iowa law limits what cities can require of short-term rentals, so hosts mainly manage taxes and HOA rules.

A host's guide to Des Moines turnovers

  • Resetting the kitchen: dishes, fridge, counters and coffee station
  • Wiping entryways and mopping away winter salt and slush

Rules to check before you host in Des Moines

Rules depend on your address and association, so confirm yours. This is an overview, not legal advice.

  • Iowa law generally bars cities from adopting short-term rental specific permits, license fees or conditional use rules.
  • General health, safety, nuisance and traffic rules still apply, in the same way as for other homes.
  • State and local hotel and motel taxes may apply, so confirm what your platform collects.
  • HOA and condo documents can restrict short-term rentals if they clearly say so.
  • Keep working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in the home.

Rules change often. Confirm current requirements with the City of Des Moines, the Iowa Department of Revenue and your association.
